UL Bohemian moved into the last four of the Women’s All Ireland Cup on a thrilling day of quarter-final action over the weekend.
UL Bohs’ pushed past Cup holders Railway Union 13-10 with the Bohs’ defence proving crucial as they fended off a late onslaught from Railway after tries from Emma Murphy and Liat Kogon.
Rachel Allen gave the home side the lead with Chloe Pearse scoring an opportunistic try off a scrum in the second-half.
Edel Murphy’s penalty and Bohs’ getting the first score meant the Dubliners were forced to chase the game in the second-half.
Bohs’ stood firm, making it a perfect weekend for Head Coach Ben Martin and his newborn daughter Ellie.
Up next for UL Bohemian are Tullow. Blackrock and Suttonians complete the other side of the draw.
